I've put the multiplier on my 3.1Ghz 550BE to x19 @ default FSB 200mhz, making it 3.8Ghz. Cpu voltage at stock is 1.35v in bios, and I've increased by one increment of 0.025v, so it's now 1.376v in cpu-z. I've done some quick tests. 1 hour 20 mins orthos small ffts, and 20 minutes of intel burntest, max stress level, 2 threads. No fails. I'm going to run intel burntest overnight but is this a decent indication of stability or is it too early to tell?
Overclocked 550BE to 3.8 questions

Linpack
Whats about RAM & NB they auto?

I disabled EPP on RAM, then changed system voltages to manual, so RAM is now on default timings. I haven't altered any of the NB or SB/HT voltages, all on 'normal'.

Is it better than intel burntest, because the results of burntest are linpack output.
You sure it's not just for intel processors? I can't install it,
"This binary version of the SMP LINPACK benchmark is optimized for and runs on only genuine Intel processors"
" The primary goal of this benchmark is to measure Gigaflops rating of (Intel) CPU(s)."
